Zaitoon Restaurant, Royapettah

I had Worst mutton biryani in my life yesterday 14.02.24 my Bill amount 1064.
Menu - two mutton biryani, half pepper BBQ and one water bottle.

Briyani masala was heavy with over oil, mutton quality was not good and the mutton pieces was not satisfied.

6months before mutton biriyani and mutton was good, but don't know what happen to this people.
Currently worst

Requesting to kindly take necessary action on quality.

Zaitoon royapettah branch restaurant manager mr Ganesh good service very happy will come regularly because of this man response towards cutomer

Mr. GANESH, honest smile, with polite gesture, NICE, SUGGESTIONS FOR FOOD SELECTION AND i had a classic meals with family

Best food one can find in chennai.
I would definitely come again.
Thank you all the staff for the excellent service.

The food was very tasty and didn’t have to wait for long to be served and was looked after well. Only criticism I had was that the food was warm but not piping hot as I normally am used to receiving.

It was an amazing restaurant the foods are served neatly and they won't take much time. The time taken is for preparing our meal and serve hot it is a firey amazing place

The Best Near Express Avenue Mall!
Butter Chicken - 3.5/5
Kerala Poratta - 4/5

Food quality is excellent. Prices are okay. Service is good, but could be better. Location is fantastic, just opposite to Express Avenue Mall

V love your place.mr.kajal your service unbelievable. V like it very much thanks for your awesome food. My son enjoyed a lot

Very worst. Please dont repeat what you have done and dont make customer to wait long. Juz now i went to zaitoon. I ordered my dish asusual.after an hour they are just informing that they dont have what i ordered. I had waited for one hour to know their availability.

A Best restaurant opposite to Express Avenue. Great food served with the quantity and quality highly worthy for the money. Hatsoff to the taste and the hospitality. Vegetable Biryani, Paneer 65 and Mushroom Masala are must try delights. Highly recommended for vegetarians too.

Nice serving and food quality is also good
Sitting arrangements is nice
Price is also reasonable

Overall it’s an amazing place to have food with friends n family

It's always my go to restaurant with family and friends. The ambience is so good. Each and every item on the menu is worth a try. You will never be disappointed over the taste quality and quantity.
Chicken Hawaiian salad, Arabian lollipop, BBQ fish and Laham tawa ribs are a must try

Very very delicious food and very clean and neat. Please try pepper chicken and ice cream. But food serving little slow.

One of the best economic restaurants in Chennai for good non vegetarian food.mutton rogan josh is finger-licking good.very good place over all.

One of the best restaurants in Chennai taste is just crct n prices are very high thr but tastes perfect

Such a excellent environment and food. Everyone should eat here. Apparently, I fell in love with this (specially zaitoon, thousands lights, chennai)

That was awesome in everything most people will love that whatever party event is there our family choose zaitoon always

Good and hygenic restaurant. During non crowded times, you will get whatever you like. But crowded times, you get only what they have

It's horrible to say what they did.importantly they are good acting ppls! My home is near to that restaurant, they didn't delivered to me bt they took deliver fr central along with my food, I paid 1000+ something it's totally waste. Food is totally spoiled. Important bag has been tored. Don't eat in this restaurant guys.

Good food, no doubt. Weekend rush could be there but waiting time may not be more than 20 mins. Post covid, they are working as normal now

Zaitoon is known for its authentic Arabian cuisine, has many branches in Chennai. This one situated right opposite express Avenue, is hard to miss. The decor and ambience is very average, and I felt that too many tables were crammed up in the small restaurant. Nevertheless, when we stopped by for late lunch at 3 pm, the place was over filled. We had a Shawarma, some rotis, and malai kofta, and were satisfied. There was nothing too exquisite about the food, but the prices were minimal. However, it is indeed a great place for barbecue and chicken lovers, who have a variety to pick from!

Honest review:
1. If you are a biriyani lover, then this is not the right place to bat.
2. They are only good in starters (grills, barbeque, tandoori etc.)
3. Based on my experience I'll give one star for main course, and 5 star for starters.

Price is bit high compared to others.

This was my first visit to zaitoon rayapettah upon recommendation from my wife and it ticked all the boxes. Great food, great service, great ambience. Definitely a place to enjoy authentic and thank specially. Mr kajal gosh.to great service thanks and keep it up

Expensive fare.unique Arabian dishes.generous portions.few dishes bland.good ambience.not recommended if on a budget

One good recommended place for family and friends. The quality and quantity of the food is really amazing.

Ultimate dining experience and I am glad to give it 5 on all accounts. We stepped in after 10: 45 at night after a tiring day shopping. Food was excellent to say the least. Specific mention to mutton raan. Correct me if I have spelled it wrong. Place was crowded and we had to wait for a good 15+ minutes before being seated. However, the wait was worth for the taste and service at this place. Will try to post pictures of it if possible a little later.

Very good service you can experience.food is over all good.not the best but definitely worth your money and time.fun environment.give it a shot won't be disappointed

Excellent quality n quantity of food.reasonable price.had a great time with my family.service was good. We had to wait for 20 mints for the table. But overall experience was good.

The starters in the restaurant is too good. Especially the barbecue. Fried rice was good but should have tasted more. Overall good place to eat and enjoy with ur family

The Best Place in Royapettah, Food was awesome, Serving was very Gud. But there is a place issue they have very low seats peoples are keep on coming so u can't eat peacefully, I love the windows seats. And price are nominal. TRY IT Guyz.

Taste of the food can be improved. The reason I am giving 2 is because I went to the same restaurant 2 year back that time it was awesome.

One of the top restaurant in the town. But you will have to wait for 10 minute to get seat due to rush. Food very tasty. Price is a bit high.

Top shawarma, al fahm grilled chicken (the zaitoon special) m calmn and cosy seating, family restaurant.

Delicious and Quality food with good ambience. Price will be comparatively little expensive than the other restaurants.

An ordinary dining place with few Arabian dishes in the menu. Very crowded. Not a regular place to eat. Not a place to go with family or a group.

Very good restaurant near express Avenue. A little bit expensive but worth the food quality. Has valet parking but takes time to get the car back once you are done with dining here and ready to leave. Usually waiting period is 15-30 minutes because of crowd. Plate Shawarma and fish are really good here. Decent place for family or couples to spend time and have good non vegetarian food here. Must visit.

One of best nonveg restaurants, I'm regular visitor for this restaurant to eat grill chicken and shawarma, best quality best taste, also you can order this restaurant food online, also during Ramzan season they sell Haleem and iftar box also they sell this in online, servers are very good and cooperative rates are reasonable, if you are a nonveg lover this is the right place for you, you will get many chicken varieties in this restaurant.

Everything was good, except the Zaitoon's one of the signature dish 'Zaitoon Spl Chicken lollipop' which had more capsicum and onions than the chicken. The taste, I didn't like a bit. Rs. 300 was a waste.

Tandoori chicken was awesome!

Biriyani was over and hence ordered fried rice which was okayish.

If going by car, need to park it in Express Avenue.

Good place for rice lovers. Lots of options like rice, dal, vegetables, kabab, egg omelette etc.

Price reasonable.
Neat and clean.
Good seating arrangements.
Well behavin employees.
Good number of dish.
Quick serve.
But take time for billing.
Good view (express avenue shopping mall).

I went for have special barbeque but initally they said it is not there so I thought of leaving later knowing about my decision the waiter said he will go and check once again then he came back and told it is there. I waited there for about 30mins to get the special barbeque.

The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. We especially enjoyed the special mutton biryani with chicken chilly was great. It's mouth watering. Bought two lemon soda and finally with ice beeda to finish our dinner. (even took photos so we could try to replicate at home)

One of the Best Vegetarian restaurant available in Chennai city.especially for butter Nan and paneer combo.taste is delicious and quality and quantity is superior in comparison of other réstauránt.don't forget to ask for ilyachi masala after food and take 2-5 bags with you. Good restaurant, go for good food only.please like if you find my review helpful
